On Monday, 17th March, Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) crew members from Llandysul and Newcastle Emlyn Fire Stations held a Search and Rescue training exercise named ‘Graig’, held at Graig Road Flats, Llandysul.
The exercise enabled the crew to practice Search and Rescue responses, providing the opportunity to develop and refine their preparedness for real-life incidents. Graig Road Flats were the prime location to provide a realistic environment for the crew. It allowed them to practice Incident Command Procedures, test their Breathing Apparatus (BA) sets, perform challenging rescues and work in risk areas searching for casualties.
Watch manager Iwan Jones said:
“Exercise ‘Graig’ was an excellent learning opportunity for the crew, providing them with training designed to enhance readiness for real-life incidents and strengthen teamwork. We like to thank ‘Tai Barcud' housing association for the use of Graig Road Flats for this exercise, these provided us with a realistic environment for the crew to practice.”
Thank you to everyone that was involved and for the understanding of the public whist the exercise took place.
